Summary

This small pilot study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain (tACS) could improve word-finding in 11 people with chronic aphasia after a stroke. Participants received either real or fake stimulation while doing language exercises. The goal was to see if the brain stimulation boosted the effects of speech therapy. Results are not yet available, but the study focused on safety and feasibility.
